178: Chapter 175 Rewards and the Revamped Fate Platform?

After the madness, shock, joy, and despair, there were still over twenty minutes left until the Individual Sequence Contest leaderboard settlement.

Under the pressure of other competitors vying for the rankings, Survivors from foreign civilizations like Hans Weber had to give their all, no matter how unwilling they were.

At the very least, they had to maintain their current ranking, otherwise, they would lose out on even the top ten rewards.

The Survivors of the Yanhuang Civilization were no different. After tacitly having their organizations post congratulatory messages, leaders of major organizations like Zheng Yuanshan and President Shen Qing continued to compete for the Individual Sequence Contest leaderboard.

The leaderboard finally locked in at twelve o'clock.

Yang Hang claimed the top spot on the Individual Sequence Contest leaderboard without any surprises.

Then, he received a double fishing opportunity. Indeed, with the leaderboard settlement at twelve o'clock, the Survivors' fishing points were also reset and opened.

All Survivors in the top one million received double fishing opportunities.

Survivors in the top ten of the leaderboard should be able to obtain the powerful rewards mentioned in the announcement.

The other Survivors might only receive somewhat more ordinary rewards.

But even that made most Survivors ecstatic.

Soon after, a large number of screenshots proving their rewards from Survivors of the Yanhuang Civilization and foreign civilizations flooded the Fate Platform.

Yang Hang also had the Little Luck Technique on his Magic Sea account, so he had a triple treasure chest fishing opportunity.

After he fished out all three treasure chests.

Two of them were golden treasure chests, and there was a selection screen on the surface of the chests.

The other one was an ordinary, decaying sunken sea treasure chest; its Rank could not be determined without opening it.

Inside the screen on the golden fixed treasure chest, there were three options.

1. Treasure Chest Quality Upgrade Voucher.

2. Lifespan Extension Voucher.

3. Talent Advancement Crystal.

Seeing these options, Yang Hang's first instinct was to hesitate between one and three.

In the end, he considered and chose to open two Treasure Chest Quality Upgrade Vouchers.

There was a difference in the quality of these two vouchers, which presumably affected the degree of the upgrade.

The reason he chose two Treasure Chest Quality Upgrade Vouchers was simple.

The Individual Sequence Contest was not a one-time event. Compared to upgrading the Rank of his existing talents, he preferred to use more suitable Gold Tier treasure chests to increase their quality.

But what made Yang Hang's face darken in the end was that he had anchored the ordinary-type sunken sea treasure chest to a Gold Tier opening result for an "Energy Affinity" directional Ability Crystal.

He used both Treasure Chest Quality Upgrade Vouchers to upgrade its quality, but the result was still just a Gold Tier "Energy Affinity" Ability Crystal.

Although the Energy Affinity talent obtained after using this Ability Crystal was indeed thirty percent stronger in display and feel than any Gold Tier talent he had previously obtained.

He even had a feeling that it might have already approached the limit of the Gold Tier.

But Gold Tier was still just Gold Tier.

Without surpassing the Gold Tier, it meant that the energy talent he wanted, one that could rival his Lord of Causality talent, was still a distant dream.

Perhaps by continuing to accumulate Talent Advancement Vouchers or Treasure Chest Quality Upgrade Vouchers, once they reached a certain level, it would be possible to break through the Gold Tier and obtain the Diamond Tier he desired.

But at the very least, it was not possible in the short term.

The fantasy of invincible potential failed.

Yang Hang was certainly disappointed at first, but he could accept it; deep down, he had already vaguely anticipated this.

After all, the Individual Sequence Contest leaderboards settled every three days, meaning a round lasted nine days.

If the top prize for every round could break through to the Diamond Tier.

Then wouldn't Diamond Tier items on the Magic Sea become dime a dozen in the future?

The Magic Sea survival field lasted for 365 days. Subtracting the current 23 days, there were still 342 days left. 342 divided by 9 equals 38.

This meant there would be thirty-eight Diamond Tier weapons, talents, or items.

If each one rivaled his Lord of Causality talent, then how could this Magic Sea survival game continue?

It should be known that he himself felt his Lord of Causality talent was already ridiculously and unreasonably overpowered.

Judging from such feats as arbitrarily modifying Individual Sequence Contest rankings, selecting Gold Tier treasure chests at will, seizing time, and altering the past, present, and future of the Magic Sea, it seemed that to some extent, the Magic Sea could not suppress the Lord of Causality talent.

If more than thirty such talents, items, or weapons that escaped the control of the Magic Sea appeared, the Magic Sea survival game might as well just declare itself over.

Therefore, his initial hypothesis was that perhaps he couldn't upgrade to a Diamond Tier treasure chest, or even if he did, what it contained might not reach the level of his Lord of Causality talent.

He now vaguely felt that his talent for controlling Karma might not be something that could be simply rated as a Diamond Tier talent.

He still remembered that when he first obtained this talent, the Magic Sea panel gave the probability of obtaining it as one in a hundred trillion.

In other words, it was possible that he had simply had incredible luck, obtaining a Divine-Grade talent through a Diamond Tier treasure chest amidst a billion impossibilities.

Whether these thoughts were correct or not, Yang Hang searched the future and past through the Power of Causality and managed to obtain some answers.

Most of them were close to what he had thought.

For example, Treasure Chest Quality Upgrade Vouchers did indeed have the potential to upgrade Gold Tier to Diamond Tier, but perhaps different quantities were needed depending on the quality of the Gold Tier item.

Having obtained this answer, Yang Hang no longer wasted energy on the matter of the Individual Sequence Contest rewards.

He had just worked hard for five days.

He planned to relax this afternoon.

He wouldn't rush to materialize the five treasure chests he had missed earlier; he would wait until he had properly planned his path to becoming stronger.

Then, he would prepare for the announcement and launch of the Combat Assistance System tomorrow.

He had just briefly checked the situation with Alola.

The Combat Assistance System was expected to be completed by 6:00 PM tomorrow.

Therefore, he still needed to decide on the specific method of release.

In the subsequent leisure time, Yang Hang played through all the entertainment facilities that came with the Houseboat, including various role-playing games, and explored the deep-sea giants.

Suddenly, he felt a bit bored being alone.

On a whim, he found a farm management game in his game room.

He turned the manor, vegetable planting, animal husbandry, and vegetable-stealing Systems within it into a virtual reality game embedded in the Fate Platform, just like the Karmic Trading Realm and the Enhancement Realm.

Previously, he didn't have Alola and had to do things himself. Now, he could just submit the requirements to the Alola intelligent entity embedded in the Fate Platform, grant it some permissions on the Fate Platform, and let it create it.

Alola quickly created the Farm Realm game System that Yang Hang required on the Fate Platform.

Upon entering, Yang Hang felt as if he had opened up a new world. Although it was all simulated, the fresh air, fragrant grass, and the farm with its authentic rural atmosphere, along with the feeling of having his feet on solid ground, made Yang Hang feel as if he had returned to the time he spent at his grandparents' home in the countryside before his Transmigration.

Yang Hang couldn't help but marvel that Alola did it better than he could.

After playing for a while, Yang Hang originally intended to open it to the entire Fate Platform for networked vegetable stealing.

This way, he wouldn't always have to play games by himself in the future.

However, after some thought, he dismissed this idea.

Firstly, the Combat Assistance System was launching tomorrow, and he didn't want everyone's attention to be diverted by the farm game.

Secondly, the main theme of the Magic Sea survival world was still survival.

The vast majority of ordinary Survivors were still constantly facing the dangers of the Magic Sea. For his own selfish desires, promoting a game that might distract Yanhuang Survivors from the time they needed to become stronger would really be beneath his status.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't intend to launch this farm System.

Rather, he would wait until the Combat Assistance System was online and on the right track before reorganizing and launching it.

He played this farm game System for a day and a night and had some other ideas.

Since a purely game-based System wouldn't work.

Then why not just make a game System that was disguised as a farm cultivation System?

Simply put, the game's farm cultivation and animal husbandry were purely virtual. But wouldn't it be great if Yang Hang could make this virtual content turn into real items?

Now that there was the food god shrine and the Trading Realm on the Magic Sea, everyone surely wouldn't starve to death.

But there was still an underlying pain point.

That was the lack of terrestrial vegetables.

The food god shrine had unlimited meat and vegetable dishes, but they ultimately required spending karma points.

Ordinary Survivors preferred to prepare their own food, prioritizing the use of karma points on other survival assurance functions of the Fate Platform.

When Survivors prepared their own food, vegetables were very scarce. If they wanted to eat them, most still had to exchange them from the food god shrine.

Therefore, many people only ate vegetables occasionally.

The Trading Realm could trade various meats, marine algae, and plants, but terrestrial vegetables were very rare, even negligible. Many people who obtained them from treasure chests rarely took them out to sell.

As for growing them on their own boats, Survivors with Silver Grade Houseboats or higher had absolutely no such need, as the food god shrine could handle everything.

Survivors with Bronze Grade Houseboats or lower faced problems like too little space, storms being too strong, and difficulty in planting even if they had seeds.

Therefore, the problem of the lack of vegetables in the Magic Sea had always existed.

It just wasn't severe.

And if the products of the farm System could successfully be converted from virtual to real, wouldn't that solve this vegetable problem?

With this pain point as a driving force.

Wouldn't everyone have a reason to play the Farm Realm game?

No one would think their Fate Master was just a guy who loved playing games.

They would only feel that their Fate Master was providing benefits for them.

Although this farm game System might conflict with the function of the food god shrine and reduce the revenue of the food god shrine.

But the food god shrine was a function Yang Hang had created to provide a safety net for the survival of Yanhuang Survivors, and earning karma points was only secondary.

Furthermore, the farm game System itself could generate revenue, right?

Even with the original simple game mechanics, Yang Hang had intended to charge fees.

Not to mention the Farm Realm game now, which had risen several levels in construction and implementation difficulty. If he didn't charge fees, he didn't even know how many karma points he would have to consume to fill the gap caused by this virtual-to-real conversion.

Such a loss-making business was obviously not feasible.

Yang Hang always believed that only his own strength could better drive the strength of the Yanhuang Civilization.

Therefore, for this Farm Realm, he not only wanted to earn karma points, but he also wanted to earn even more.

This Farm Realm was perhaps just a starting point in his vision, a fulcrum to leverage another idea he had generated: establishing a larger virtual worldview.

Perhaps he could try revamping the Fate Platform?
